Keydiver stage 3 ECU won't run- Stock Will

[zachsEVO3]

when my mechanic told me it looked like the caps had melted on my stage 3 ecu from keydiver, they said there was nothing wrong with it n sent it back to me

After a new alternator and rebuilt starter I got from these very classifieds my mechanic finally got my car started after years but he did so because he had a non chipped stock ecu lying around.

"started, stalled. acting funny. Died."- That was the last text i got from my mechanic when he tried my ecu.

GEN 2 MAFT works fine after he went through some simple screens in what year the eclipse was and what kinda MAF i was running it started right up, again with the stock ecu.


I had the stage 3 ecu programmed for my 660cc injectors an some other stuff a stage 3 from keydiver would entail but I dont know if the thing is infact fried or if it could be something in the programming

Who did the socket job? It would be extremely rare that Jeff would mess up a chip but very common to have a poor socket job that's causing your problems.

Are you putting the chip in the right way? There is a little "notch" on the left side of the chip that should be facing left when putting it on. Just a thought.

Yah I know Jeff was awesome the times i talked to him an the chip was already installed in the brand new ecu i ordered from him. But that is a good point I'll contact my mechanic to see if the chip is infact installed the right way thanx for the perspective

Also make sure that the "mechanic" knows that the MAFT settings will be different between the two ECU's since Jeff's chip is going to do all the corrections rather than the MAFT doing them like it needs to with the stock ECU.

yeah im just sending it to ECM Tuning to have em figure it out
